That's Windows containers running on Windows, I think? As opposed to
Windows running on a non-Windows system.

So I think it would still be accurate to say that docker cannot support
"non-native" containers or something like that[0]? Which is essentially the
old homogeneous kernel issue with containers.

syscall interface as a personality, I'm not sure if the opposite (Linux
syscalls on BSD) still exists?
